After reading this thread I had the question on whether it is possible to verify you have certain information without revealing who you are to others.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yes, only after you've met them. First meet, exchange public keys. Use zero knowledge proofs.
But how do you verify if that information is actually accurate?
Like for example if a whistleblower says that their organization has something that can do xyz is it possible to verify that through zero knowledge proofs?
You rely on the whistleblower. That is the only way.
It might be possible. It would depend on the specific details of what the whistle blower is claiming.
That's impossible in a generalized way. That would be the same as having an algorithm for truth
